Robert Payne (1911–1983) was a distinguished historian and author
of The Life and Death of Lenin, The Rise and Fall of Stalin, and
The Dream and the Tomb.
Nikita Romanoff, grandnephew of Nicholas II of Russia, is a
world-renowned scholar of Russian history.
Ivan was truly in a class with Genghis Khan, Hitler and Stalin, and
this study brings him to life with all the fascination which the
monstrous evokes.
*Publishers Weekly*
Grandly conceived with imperial sweep and torch-lit pageantry.
*Kirkus*
The authors reveal the most significant moments in Ivan's life and
his growing abuse of power. The writing is vigorous and colorful
yet never sensational.
*CHOICE*
Deeply satisfying... . Ivan'r reign lasted 54 years, more than a
lifetime (perhaps two?) for people of his time. And, together with
the evil he perpetrated, he had an immense effect on Russian
architecture, the arts, governance and geography. His reign merits
better understanding, and this book tells the story in a manner
that makes the study enjoyable.
